It's getting cold. I have a bunch of used clothing in perfectly good condition (though not the most stylish) that I'd like to get rid of. I hate the idea of throwing them in the garbage or trying to sell them, especially when I can clearly see and smell people in need.
Any idea where to donate them?
Thanks.

Nice.
There is a place! But I can't remember the name. :confused: :o
Hang on a bit, somebody will know of it.
I think it was called the Hearfelt Project Japan or some such.
Didya Google??

Salvation Army in either Nakano-ku or Suginami-ku, forget which. Was in walking distance of my place when I lived in Nakano-ku Honancho.
